I'm an Irish climber living in Kiwi land at the moment. I'm heading over to Oz in early Oct. I'm planing to be back here in Jan and Feb to do some alpine stuff. I'ould like to be working outdoor. I'ave done all sorts fuit picking, building, painting, outdoor edu.,engineering. So sa you can see form the fruit picking I'm not fusy. I just want somthing easy to get into and pay ok. Somthing close to Mount Arapiles would be nice. Well it is world famous. All ideas welcome,

Good luck in finding some work and enjoy your trip to OZ. Fruit picking area's are all a fair drive away from Mt Arapiles, other work maybe closer by.
Also for supplimenting vegie stocks at Araps - O'Connors organic farm 2 km south of the campsite at Arapiles has cheap vegies. You also used to be able to work for the day on the property usually weeding in exchange for a decent supply of vegies (you may need to check they still do that though, it's been too many years since I've been there)
